Not what he expected.
All parents know that there has to come a time when the theme of their kid's rooms need to change.
But as one dad found out, it might be best to consult the child first before you go ahead and make alterations.
Tik Tok user @eric.lynner has gone viral after his son had a very blunt reaction to his new bedroom makeover.
But it's not that he was disappointed with how his room looked, it turns out he just wanted to help with the painting.
The clip uploaded to TikTok is captioned: "When you surprise your son with his new paint job in his room... his reaction was not what we expected."

After a first "initial meltdown", his dad said he was delighted with the new look.
In the comments, one person replied to say: "I was expecting him not to like it and he's more bummed because he wanted to help awwww."
A second wrote: "The way his voice broke when he said 'you painted without me'."
Another commented: "The fact that he would rather help out than be surprised is so heartwarming. You've raised a gem."
Someone else added: "Ya'll better go paint another room with him."
